Overrated NFL Teams:
A good handicapper is always aware of which teams are overrated and underrated by the public. I'll attempt to list the teams I think are the most overrated and underrated each week. Keep in mind that even if a team is listed here, that doesn't mean that I think lowly of them; they are simply overrated in Vegas' eyes. These are the squads that Vegas can boost the spread on.

Cincinnati Bengals - Save for last week, the last time the Bengals covered the spread was in Week 9 when they needed a comeback against the Titans. Leon Hall's absence has been huge.

Dallas Cowboys - The Cowboys are 2-7 against the spread in their past nine games. They've lost to the 7-8 Eagles and 7-8 Cardinals, and have barely beaten the 7-8 Seahawks, 5-10 Redskins and 5-10 Dolphins.

New York Jets - The Jets are 2-5 ATS in their previous seven. They're really going to miss safety Jim Leonhard.

Tennessee Titans - The Titans haven't covered since Week 13. They couldn't even shake off the Buccaneers, beating them by just six points.

Underrated NFL Teams:
A good handicapper is always aware of which teams are overrated and underrated by the public. I'll attempt to list the teams I think are the most overrated and underrated each week.

Carolina Panthers - The Panthers have covered four of their past five contests, with the lone exception being that blown lead against the Falcons.

Cleveland Browns - The Browns play tough defense and have covered five of their past six contests. The lone exception came against Baltimore in sloppy conditions.

Indianapolis Colts - Don't look now, but the Colts have covered four in a row. They've improved immensely with Dan Orlovsky because he doesn't turn the ball over much.

Washington Redskins - The Redskins have covered four of six. They've been better defensively with Perry Riley in the lineup, while their offense didn't skip a beat without Fred Davis and Trent Williams.
